Swim and fish in the fresh water Barker River (at the bottom of the garden), stroll through eight acres of tropical heritage gardens, paddle the canoes past pandanus lined waterways, or simply read and relax in a hammock under our giant bamboo or a shady mango tree.

In the late afternoon, you can watch a spectacular 360 degree panoramic sunset while enjoying a delicious champagne and cheese hamper from the top of 'sunset hill' .
In the evening you can relax under the stars, at the "Three Dingoes Hotel" for icy cold beers, and watch the 'Mt Hart History DVD' which shows the settlement and exploration of this remote corner of Australia.
Mt Hart is also a photographer's delight, as well as an excellent location for painting and birdwatching.

The major scenic attractions of Mt Hart, namely Mt Matthew, and Annie Gorge, are only very short drives from the homesteads.

The majestic Barker River flows through the centre of Mt Matthew gorge’s steep cliffs of black dolerite rock. Here you can experience beautiful cascading waterfalls, explore delightful swimming holes and rock pools, go fishing for black brim, or walk into the centre of the gorge admiring and photographing the fascinating and incredible array of bird, plant and animal life.

Annie Gorge features a sandstone cliff face that towers above a pandanus lined waterway. It is an excellent location for bushwalkers, photographers and artists to explore and admire incredible age-old rock formations, as well as rare bird life.
